I didn't really talk to a lot of "gamers" back then but most of them just talked like normal people. They seemed less spergy but I wasn't deep in to BBS's. Yahoo chat was full of people just saying "a/s/l" a lot.

ps5 will be a giant flop, and from the ashes the new king of consoles will rise, THE HEXBOX

I just disassembled my old AGP Dell rig from 2003.
13375p34K was always a meme and you didn't really see it outside the extremely competitive Arena FPS or CS communities. Everyone mostly typed like we did on AIM and I still usually do here or in text, lowercase and limited punctuation.

elitespeak came from text message character limits and wanting to fit in as much information as possible without having to pay for two text messages

>the Zero Wing meme is over 20 years old now
>kids today will never know the joy of watching shitty quality rips of the DBZ movies and other anime on RealPlayer with subbing done by people who actually didn't translate anything and just made shit up with gratuitous swearing
I miss the late 90s/early 2000s.

we said owned or pwned instead of rekt
if someone called you a nigger you didn't report him, you called him a nigger as well.
we used forums and discussed everything on various forums instead of centralized garbages, like r*ddit

Only thing I remember is people saying "owned" a lot when winning, then that turned into "pwned", I also remember people saying "sit down" a lot. Leetspeak was a joke though and no one ever actually talked like that. Was also a SHIT ton of shit talk that went unmoderated which I kind of miss in retrospect.
